In the preceding chapters we have shown how to calculate a number of
properties that are associated with specific spectroscopic applications,
such as NMR-parameters (Chapter 
). These properties
are in part
calculated in the RESPONSE program, but given that a large number of
standard calculations usually are carried out in a similar fashion, some
applications have a simplified input (under **PROPERTIES),
and an appealing output that meets common demands
(e.g. customary unit conversions). In this chapter we
describe how to set up the input for calculating a general property that
can be defined in terms of electronic response functions.
